Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 24:1-26

Seeking a Wife for Isaac Genesis 24:1-26 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. A remarkable co-incidence. As the Word of God tells the story of Sarah's death, it tells, also, the story of Rebekah's birth. Genesis 23:2 says, "And Sarah died in Kirjath-arba." Genesis 22:23 reads: "And Bethuel begat Rebekah." Rebekah's birth is recorded just three verses before Sarah's death is recorded. There is a lesson for us in all of this. While one may pass on, another comes in to fill up the gap, and to carry forward the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 24:10

FIDELITY‘All the goods of his master were in his hand.’ Genesis 24:10 Eliezer would have constantly before him the example of Abraham’s fidelity to his divine Master, and that would be a pattern and an encouragement to him. Observe how the example of fidelity to conscience, truth, God, set by one in a household may operate on the minds and conduct of others. Note— I. The relation of Eliezer.—A servant, only a servant! A subordinate position in the great man’s household. Visitors would take... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 24:10

‘And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master and departed, having all the goodly things of his master in his hand, and he arose and went to Aram Naharaim (‘Aram of the two rivers’ - Mesopotamia), to the city of Nahor.’ Camels were known in the area around this time but were the possessions of the very wealthy. This was therefore a deliberate attempt to impress those to whom he is going. It would be a rich caravan that went forth, loaded with valuables and well protected by armed... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 24:1-67

Genesis 24. At his Master’ s Command, Abraham’ s Slave Brings Rebekah to Canaan as a Wife for Isaac.— The chapter has generally been assigned to J, but it is probably composite, and has been put together from J and E rather than from two J sources. Close scrutiny discloses features which negative its unity, but the combination has been skilfully effected and the story reads admirably. It is told with great literary skill.Feeling the approach of death, Abraham summons his senior slave and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 24:10

The goods of his master were in his hand, i.e. in his power to take, without particular orders, what he thought fit and necessary, either for his own use, or for the promotion of the present business. The city of Nahor was Haran, by comparing Genesis 28:10; Genesis 29:4. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 24:1-67

And Abraham was old, and well-stricken in age: and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things. And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh ( Genesis 24:1-2 ):So Abraham is now seeking to extract a promise from the servant and he wants it to be a very strong covenant that he makes with the servant. Now earlier, the chief servant of Abraham was named Eleazar-whether or not Eleazar was still alive is not known at... read more

Genesis 24:1. The Lord had blessed Abraham with all the four patriarchal blessings: viz. length of days, a promising issue, vast riches, and victory over his oppressors. Genesis 24:2. Under my thigh. The Jews affirm that Abraham here swore his servant by the covenant of circumcision, and by the promise of the Messiah who was to descend from his loins. Jacob required Joseph to take an oath in this manner. Genesis 47:29. So the princes and the mighty men, according to the margin, put... read more
